In Memory of Tyler Stephan

In Memory of Tyler Stephan

Posted on 10/04/2018

It is with great sadness that we must relay another loss to our school family. 2018 HNHS Grad Tyler Stephan died Monday, Oct. 1, 2018. Tyler was a freshman at Purdue University. He was known and loved by many of our current HNHS students and staff. For more information on Tyler, click here.

The passing of Tyler at such a young age — and in the wake of two other tragic losses with teachers Emily Teusch and Joe Haft — it can feel like too much to bear. At times like this, we want to reassure our students that it is okay to have many different feelings, including sadness, anger, and disbelief. It is okay to cry and take time to grieve.

We encourage students, staff, and parents who are having trouble processing this to reach out to our HCCSC counselors. Please contact us — we will put you in touch with someone who can help.
